I washed my jeep for the second time in its ownership (since last July) and it got me thinking. How often do yall wash your Cherokees?

Ummmmm...well i washed mine 3 times this week, and twice last week, but i got it MUDDY as ever and just wanted to get it all cleaned off so i could see out my windows and being the snow here is finally gone and the roads are dry it may finally stay clean for awhile I love to get things muddy and dirty but im a bit of a clean freak and love when my vehicles are nice and shiny, plus in my eyes it gives you a good image when you try to go sell your vehicle to someone who's seen it around or knows you.

I wash mine after every wheeling trip. I wax it once or twice a year. And during the winter every time I drive it on salted roads I hose down the undercarriage every chance I get.

I'd hate to have to do any work under one of those "I-never-wash-my-jeep" jeeps.

X2, i had to replace my u-joint and axle shaft after a mudding trip and it was a MESS, let alone had to clean off every nut and bolt to get a socket on it...pain in the ***, thats another reason why i tend to wash mine when it gets real dirty, never know when your gonna be under it eating all that dirt

you wash it before you ever wrench on it.....duh

Ya true true, but do you know how hard it is to get mud out of the undercarriage and on nuts and bolts thats been caked on there for a long time? Its hard enough when you wash it off right after it gets dirty, let alone when you leave it on there and keep adding to it over and over Not so bad if you never see the mud and just gets dirty, but when you get some nice greasy mud under their and not clean it before to long its a pain in the *** to get it off

and most people wonder why there Jeeps rust.... its because you don't wash it!.... dirt= rust...

I wash mine once a week or once every 2 weeks..... wax it when the seasons change...

i only wash my jeep when i know i'm gonna be wrenching on it so i'd say i wash it once a month, but even then it doesn't count because its just the under carriage that i focus on... with all my scratches my jeep looks way better muddy then it does with me pretending i still have clear coat left.

Just pull it up on the lift and hit it with a high pressure steam power washer thing.

Haha i'd say...90% of the time i work on my stuff outside the shop in the dirt laying on a piece of cardboard, because most the time the shop is filled with my grandpa's projects and even when i do get in the shop im still laying on the floor, just now on a creeper
